    We were so impressed with our meal in February that we brought our friends with us this time. It was apparent that the chef has changed. This chefs go-to ingredient was chili oil, sigh. The filet of beef and rack of lamb finally arrived not medium rare except for the very middle but the main courses took so long that even if we could find the server, it just wasn't worth the effort. Let me be clear here, at this point there were 8 other diners in the room so slammed wasn't an issue. One of the families had a small child that bounced a soccer ball continuously during the meal but no one asked him to stop. The only time the servers were around were to bring odd utensils not relating to the meal, but it took a request for spoons for the soups. Wines by the glass were over the top in price. Some the cost of a bottle! The chocolate mousse desert was OK but the "butter grilled" pound cake was stale grilled cake with not enough mango sauce to help the dryness. All in all a very disappointing experience.

    Lovely setting overlooking the Pacific in Pismo Beach. Warm friendly service. The tuna tartar was excellent as was the soft shell crab appetizer. The gourmet cuisine certainly met our expectations. To die for dessert - the date nut ice cream. The ambiance of this entire Pismo beach area is not to be missed. Be sure and take a walk on the path, before or after dinner, to enjoy the amazing sunset on the central coast.

    Very romantic setting on the outside patio for dinner. Chef's tasting menu w/ wine pairings was a killer deal and food was pretty good. Live musician on a Tuesday night during the summer.

    The waiter was professional, the halibut special was excellent, and the guitar/violin duo played tastefully and interesting music.

    The Lido has a great brunch menu on both Saturday and Sunday. The since the restaurant sits right on the edge of the cliff, the view is outstanding. Great for outdoor seating. The wait staff, especially our server Timothy, was friendly and very efficient. I would recommend it highly.
